visible light
Visible light occupies a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, specifically wavelengths between approximately 400-700 nanometers. This range corresponds to the colors we see in a rainbow, from violet to red.
Gamma rays have a higher frequency than visible light. Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with the highest frequency and energy in the electromagnetic spectrum, while visible light falls in the middle range of the spectrum.
No, a radio telescope is designed to detect radio waves, which have much longer wavelengths than visible light. Visible light cannot be studied using a radio telescope as it operates in a different part of the electromagnetic spectrum. To study visible light, astronomers typically use optical telescopes.

The part of the electromagentic spectrum from the bottom of the AM radio dial ... 550 KHz ...to the lowest-frequency gamma rays ... 1019 Hz ... covers roughly 44 octaves.Out of that, roughly one octave is visible to the human eye. (maybe 380 - 750 nanometers)
The visible light spectrum is a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, covering wavelengths from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers. The electromagnetic spectrum, on the other hand, includes a much broader range of wavelengths, from gamma rays to radio waves, spanning from very short wavelengths to billions of meters long.

Conventional lasers do not emit gamma radiation. Lasers use electromagnetic waves in the visible spectrum; this is light that you can actually see. Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves with much more energy and much higher frequency than visible light.
The wavelength of infrared radiation is longer than that of visible light. Infrared radiation has wavelengths ranging from about 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter, which are longer than the 400-700 nanometer wavelengths of visible light.
Gamma rays have a higher frequency than visible light. Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with the highest frequency and energy in the electromagnetic spectrum, while visible light falls in the middle range of the spectrum.
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves. The radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. A radio wave has a much longer wavelength than does visible light. We use radio waves extensively for communications.
The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.[1] The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object. The electromagnetic spectrum extends from below frequencies used for modern radio through to gamma radiation at the short-wavelength end, covering wavelengths from thousands of kilometers down to a fraction of the size of an atom. The long wavelength limit is the size of the universe itself, while it is thought that the short wavelength limit is in the vicinity of the Planck length, although in principle the spectrum is infinite and continuous. EM radiation with a wavelength between 380 nm and 760 nm (790-400 terahertz) is detected by the human eye and perceived as visible light. So only a very small portion of the entire spectrum is visible.
As material falls into a Quasar, it emits much of the electromagnetic spectrum. As material is just about to pass the event horizon, cosmic rays (the most energic electromagnetic waves we know of) are released.
Gamma rays, just like (visible) light rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have a much shorter wavelength (and thus more energy) than visible light, which is why they are much more dangerous to human beings (e.g. they may cause cancer).

No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave.
